tfw you get into a fight as you see your ex for the first time in five years and his new skald crits and kills someone and you roll a one and a two with advantage :/

a little funny that every single time (except for once (1ce)) ive wanted to write d20 shipfic my thought process/outline has been like. [person a] thinks about putting a blade to [person b]'s neck, and Feels A Way About It. no i havent managed to actually write any of it yet but i am predictable even in this

[cloudmancy]

delikarna is literally like. you are both so young. you are both SO young karna is fourteen years old and years into wearing the mantle of the spymaster of a queen. deli is NINETEEN when the war starts and twenty one when he looks someone in the eye and decides in cold blood that they need to die and he's the one who is going to do it. his mom dies when he's young and his other mother looks at her son who's grown up too fast and too far and walks north never to be seen again. she's never even mentioned her parents. she doesn't remember if she ever had them, or if parents are only for normal people. DELI is groomed by his aunt who later betrays his people and attempts to induct him into a death cult and the only person he thought would never leave him disappears without a word to become someone else's knight and KARNA wriggles desperately like a maggot into the good graces of anyone who could keep her alive long enough before they start to rot too. they've both been twenty five since they were fifteen years old and ALL they HAVE IS EACH OTHER!

thinking also about how deli very literally replaced colin in his life, literally gave his position to someone else, made karna specifically his skald, and then when colin lied that raphaniel was his best friend deli’s reaction was to be crushed

[islandoforder]

colin and deli, reunited in their determination to get revenge on the disposals that killed the only people who had wholeheartedly chosen them

[islandoforder]

karna has grown up to have the exact type of utterly absorbing and self destructive and unquestioning loyalty for deli that he wanted and couldn’t get from colin

[islandoforder]

the split-screen reaction of aabria and zac on “would you allow me to bring my skald, karna” oh my heart god this is brutal this has such bitter break up vibes

[islandoforder]

karna slapping deli and colin taking the opportunity to also slap him is [chef’s kiss] it’s only right and good that despite the weird psychosexual bullshit between deli and colin and the obsessive and unhealthy devotion between deli and karna, colin and karna are perfect foils the potential for absolute drift compatible besties

[islandoforder]

truly losing my fucking mind over the déjà vu colin/deli/karna edit (if you know you know) like I cannot think about ANYTHING else twt user aydasparamour if you’re out there i am obsessed with your brain

[islandoforder]

straight up there has never been anything ruder than deli saying “come now skald” to colin like three seconds after karna died wtf lou

[islandoforder]

for the record if i was karna i would be so torn on being deli’s skald, because karna knows the depth of deli and colin’s bond (and kept asking little oh wait are you two gay is that your secret? questions) and so knows what a high honour it is and also karna knows the depth of deli and colin’s estrangement and her own loyalty and how can she not want to be more than the petty replacement for a man long gone

[islandoforder]

like legit still rude to be like “no in your last moments I thought of you as karna not skald, colin is skald” like okay so you admit that for years i wasn’t karna i was merely a replacement skald for colin :///

[islandoforder]

aabria, gleefully saying “i like to think i clocked it and i was very sad” bc she lives to hurt me

[cloudmancy]

ok. my vision for the ravening war pcs epilogue (IF they don't all die at the end rogue one style)

amangeaux marries gustavo. stepmother to plumbeline and or her kid IS plumbeline

I literally hope colin and raphaniel do something crazy like try and take a boat west to try and find another continent and are never seen again

delikarna real and true and endgame no one understands them like I do
